I just bought a Tamiya 8ton Semi Track Sd.Kfz7 on ebay, and the only instructions it has is in Japanese. Since I can’t read Japanese, I was wondering if anybody knows where I might be able to find some instructions online.
Any help would be great.
Hi ya adws … [:)]
I sure hope someone here on the good ol’ FSM Community Modeling Forum(s) will come thru and help out a fellow modeler and fellow forum member with a copy of those instructions you need. [;)]
How about it guys and gals … ??? [:p]
If, no one has a set they can copy … I agree with Butz … perhaps you could write or email Tamiya America in CA and plead your case. [:I]
A short story along those same lines … if you have the time …
About 15 years ago, I purchased one of Tamiya’s 1/32 scale F-14 Tomcat kits from that big mailorder outfit in TX … at $34.95 the kit was a real bargin … I soon learned why … no english instructions included … only japanese instructions … [V]
I couldn’t (still can’t) read japanese. It seems that at that time MRC from NJ was importing all of the Tamiya kits, (Tamiya America was just a fond dream in Mr. Tamiya’s sleep). [|)]
I phoned the big mailorder outfit in TX and asked if any english instruction books were available … nope … they confirmed that these kits were a special order deal direct from Japan … hence no english instructions were included. They suggested that I try to purchase a set direct from MRC. [:0]
So, I wrote to MRC and explained what had happened and asked if I could purchase a set of english instructions. In a few days I received a complete set of english instructions in the mail … no charge! [^]
I quickly wrote MRC back and thanked them …
What a first class outfit MRC turned out to be! [^]
I hope if you have to write or email Tamiya America you have as good a luck as I had. [:D]
Hey adws …

Hope this helps … again … good luck!
